Has someone not committed Ronnie P., the crazy old John McCain wannabe yet????????????

Since Cage left the line up at the TD RETHUGLITEACON BIG TOP CIRCUS the responses and topics form the TEABAGGERS and FOXOPHILES  has gotten even more lame than usual.

I really think it is time to pack the show up since you have about 2 or 3 of the same tired right wing radicals posting on here and the whole thing has been reduced to ficticious golf games in the mind of the demented Ronnie P.  SHEESH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We'll I of one am happy for him but I do worry about his domestic partner.  But back to reality.  Obama attended his 35th fund raiser so far this year. According to Obama “It’s only been two and a half years. I got five and a half years more to go”.

 

Are you going to let that happen?  What will America look like in a year much less 8 years of Obama.  He has to be stopped!

Boehner Cool to Obama’s Invitations

Jan. 24, 2011

 

“One snub is an accident; three or four, well, that’s a pattern,” one top House Democratic aide said. “Bipartisanship is a two-way street, but Republicans only see it going one way.”

 

It’s only been two months since Republicans took control of the House, and Speaker John Boehner is already earning a re****tion for tellingPresidentBarackObama, “No.”

 

The Ohio Republican last week turned down a White House invitation to attend a state dinner forChinese PresidentHuJintao. A week earlier, Boehner declined an offer from Obama to fly with him on Air Force One to attend theTucson,Ariz., memorial ceremony. And unlike last year’s House GOP retreat, the president was not asked by Republican leaders to make an appearance at this year’s getaway.

 

 “When the president calls and asks a Member of Congress to meet at the White House, you go,”Rep.ElijahCummings(D-Md.) said at the time. “You put down everything else, you cancel all your other appointments and you go. This is the leader of the free world and the commander in chief of our nation. You do not say, ‘Let’s reschedule.’”

 

Senior House Democratic aides speculated that Boehner is intentionally backing out of meetings with Obama to send a signal that he is going to use his role as Speaker to play hardball with the president. Boehner hasn’t been shy about how he intends to deal with the White House over the next two years: In a Dec. 12 interview on CBS’ “60 Minutes,” Boehner said he is open to finding “common ground” with the president but will not “compromise” with him.

 

“I reject the word,” he said.

If, a congressman goes, it is to advise the President, not to receive marching orders.  If a senator goes, it is to advise and to act as an ambassador for his state.
